Storyline;

Moana Waialiki is a sea voyaging enthusiast and the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. When her island's fishermen can't catch any fish and the crops fail, she learns that the demigod Maui caused the blight by stealing the heart of the goddess, Te Whiti. The only way to heal the island is to persuade Maui to return Te Whiti's heart, so Moana sets off on an epic journey across the Pacific. The film is based on stories from Polynesian mythology.

Thoughts;

My kids have watched this a million times before I could even get to putting this all together. Although very cute, this  movie is a Disney movie in every sense of the word. There’s singing, there’s danger, a girl trying to save the day and humor.

I have zero issues with what I stated above, this movie was certainly different in the sense of it was not a Princess type movie.

All in all it was very cute
